You mean it gets worse?

I don't know, I'm more and more satisfied with life the older I get
I think my expectations have just gotten more realistic?

Exactly. In youth, everything is important, and everything is a big fucking deal.
Over time, especially if you're introspective (not everyone has this ability, it seems), you'll come to temper those expectations.

I still remember being told that in high school, and at 35 I can say with reasonable confidence that it was in fact the worst part of my life, not the best. Fuck you Mr. Ford, you were wrong, and you were an asshole, and if I can ever be arsed to locate your grave, I'll piss on it.

No, it will get so much better. And so, so, so much worse. Sometimes in the course of like an hour.

If anyone tells you that your teenage years are the best years of your life: Smile, nod, and slowly back away. Then never talk to that person again if you can help it.

Back when I was in school they told me I was supposed to enjoy my youth and that it would be about the best time of my life. What they actually did was to demotivate me regarding my future. School was hell. Life is much better nowadays.
Yeah when I grew up I was a confused bag of hormones who had not yet learnt to deal with anything.

And sometimes it's both simultaneously.

I can't remember which movie, but some basic rom-com. Girl was in a fight with her ex and trying to make him feel bad said, "I gave you the best years of my life."
And dude, utterly confused, responds, "those were your best?"
The movie was forgettable, but that absolutely savage line stuck with me.

The whole "high school is the best years of your life" thing was always total bullshit. The drugs are much better in college.

I was less impressed when I learned that all the actors in that scene were on bicycle seats. But then I was more impressed when I learned they only had one ladder to let them down to take a pee.
Another fun Life of Brian fact: the production re-used the Tunisian sets built for Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth television series. Zeffirelli was furious that the Tunisian authorities allowed this; he apparently did not know how money works.

Anyone who says 'These years are the best of your life' are really just telling you that their life peaked at that age.
If you play your cards right and have a large serving of luck, this will not be true for you.

Don't listen to people who peaked during high school.

I've never really had much of a family. The whole family bond thing seems like a farce. I love my parents because they were good parents, not simply because they were my parents.

Well look on the bright side…there’s probably a bright side!
Brightside is life expectancy is on a downward trend!

There are certain unique experiences you don't get later. There are a few places that have field trips in college, but for most people that is only during regular primary school.
